About 5 and a half inches african spurred tortoiseWhat species and size?
I've applied it twice before he doesn't like it getting applies to his shell but he does like it getting applied to his head and legsMy personal feeling is that tortoises don't need that type of topical applied to their shells.
Quick question do turtles cry a few weeks ago my tort had what seems tears in his eyes was it too hot for him? Or maybe something in his eyes he was outside when it happened
tortoises sweat from their eyes, they have no other place to emit sweat fromQuick question do turtles cry a few weeks ago my tort had what seems tears in his eyes was it too hot for him? Or maybe something in his eyes he was outside when it happened
I use that exact brand on my salcutta, I apply it once a month to his head, and front and hind legs, you can apply it once in while to his shell, his shell will absorb it and it will moisten. The tortoise will love the feeling of the moisture and not feeling so dry all the time. If you spent time in the bath and under your heat lamps all the time you would appreciate a little moisturizer to your body sometime. Just keep in mind when you apply it to his shell its going to block some of the uva and uvb light that he needs on his shell. So after a couple days, I put my salcutta back in the bath and take a bristled brush and gently scrub and rinse. Repeat this procedure a few times and it will remove the moisturizer. Then wait another three or four weeks before reapplying to his shell. But you will see how he will like this, mine always looks like he feels like a million bucks!How often should they have a bath. Mine loves a good soak I just don't know if I should do it as often as a few times a wee or as little as a few times a month. Also how often should I apply his lotionView attachment 120439
I saw the above lotion at a store, but did not buy it. I have a Greek tort, and would like to ask you: has it done any good?How often should they have a bath.

Pity my poor old gulf coast turtle who failed the audition. His shell is flat and chewed, he's missing all the toes on one front foot, his coloring is drab... Flora the EBT won the part.Maybe I'll use it on Tidgy so she thinks she's doing a TV commercial.
I'm sure that'll boost her self-esteem if nothing else.
